WITNESSETH: ARTICLE 1 DEMISE ------ 1.1 Demise. Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby ------ leases from Landlord Suites 300 and 250 (the "Premises") consisting of the entire third floor and approximately 12,781 rentable square feet on the second floor for a total of approximately 35,234 rentable square feet (the "Rentable Area"), such Premises being generally depicted on the floor plans attached hereto as Exhibit A and A-1, which Premises may be adjusted as set forth --------- --- herein. The Premises are situated in that certain building known as 2060 Briargate Parkway, located in El Paso County, Colorado Springs, Colorado (the "Building"), which Building will be constructed by Landlord substantially in accordance with (i) the Building Outline Specifications dated October 24, 1997 (revised March 18, 1998) prepared by OZ Architecture, a copy of which has been provided to and approved by Tenant (the "Outline Specifications") and (ii) the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 and situated on that certain real ----------- property (the "Property") legally described in - Exhibit B, attached hereto, --------- together with a non-exclusive right subject to the provisions hereof, to use all appurtenances thereto, including, but not limited to, any plazas, common areas, walkways or other areas in the Building or on the Property designated by Landlord from time to time for the non-exclusive use of the tenants of the Building, all of which inclusive of the Building are hereinafter collectively called the "Building Complex." Such letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, conditions and covenants herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, conditions and covenants by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. ARTICLE 2 TERM ---- 2.1 Term. The term of this Lease and Tenant's obligation to pay rent ---- shall commence on the earlier to occur of (a) February 1, 1999, or (b) the date upon which Tenant commences the operation of its business in the Premises (the "Commencement Date") and shall end at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the ninety- ninth (99th) month thereafter, unless sooner terminated as herein provided (the "Lease Term"). As further specified in Exhibit C, Landlord shall provide Tenant --------- access to the Premises (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of installing Tenant's voice data cabling equipment and related materials and (ii) fourteen (14) days prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of installing certain of Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment, In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will be reasonable in providing Tenant's contractors access to the Premises at such other times necessary for installation of Tenant's equipment and related materials, provided that (i) Tenant schedules and coordinates such access needs with Landlord within five (5) days prior to the date of such desired access, (ii) such work by Tenant's contractors does not unreasonably interfere with or in any way delay Landlord's work in the Premises and (iii) the terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern and control during such access periods. All such installation work by Tenant shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any claims asserted against Landlord or for any damage, loss, cost or expense incurred by Landlord as a result of such work by Tenant on the Premises. Notwithstanding the above, if the Premises are not Substantially Complete (as defined in Exhibit C) on February 1, 1999 due to any reason other than Tenant --------- Delay (as defined in Exhibit C), then the Commencement Date shall be extended to --------- the date of Substantial Completion (or, in the event of Tenant Delay, to the date on which the Premises would have been 1 Substantially Complete in the absence of the Tenant Delay). If the plat and development plan for the Property have not been approved by the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado and/or any other governmental authority, association or committee as may be required by any recorded covenants affecting the Property on or before June 30, 1998, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to the other party on or before July 31, 1998 and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations hereunder. Landlord has submitted the appropriate development plans to the City of Colorado Springs for approval and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any such required approvals as promptly as possible. If Landlord has not commenced construction of the Building on or before August 3, 1998 or if Landlord has not commenced erection of steel with respect to the Building on or before September 24, 1998, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the respective termination dates referenced above and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant will be relieved of their respective obligations hereunder. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date that the Premises will be Substantially Complete. If, however, the Commencement Date has not occur-red on or before May 1, 1999, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to Landlord on or before May 31, 1999 and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations hereunder. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before May 1, 1999 (as such date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay, as defined in Exhibit C) due to a delay caused by Landlord and --------- Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease as set forth above, Landlord will agree to reimburse Tenant for Tenant's holdover costs in the amount of $12,405.56 per month (the "Holdover Costs") incurred by Tenant as a result of such delay beyond May 1, 1999 (as extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay) until Substantial Completion. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before May 1, 1999 (as such date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay) due to a Force Majeure Delay and Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease, Landlord will agree to reimburse Tenant for fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's Holdover Costs in the amount of $6,202.78 per month incurred by Tenant as a result of such delay beyond May 1, 1999 (as extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay) until the earlier of Substantial Completion or October 31, 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Landlord's liability in connection with payment of Tenant's Holdover Costs in connection with a Force Majeure Delay exceed $38,000.00 and if the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before October 31, 1999, either party shall have the right to terminate the Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to the other party and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations hereunder. 2.2 Supplemental Agreement. Within five (5) days after the commencement ---------------------- of the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to execute a Supplemental Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D to become a part hereof, setting forth the --------- Commencement and termination dates of the term of this Lease in accordance with Paragraph 2.1 above and such other information as the parties may agree to as set forth therein, including the actual Rentable Area of the Premises, Base Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share as defined herein. 2.3 Landlord's Work. Other than as set forth in the Work Letter Landlord --------------- shall have no obligation for the completion or condition of the Premises and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "AS IS" condition as of the date Landlord delivers possession thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Work Letter, subject to any Punch List Items (as defined in the Work Letter) and any defects in the Premises constructed by Landlord and discovered by Tenant (and written notice of which is given to Landlord) within one (1) year following the date of Substantial Completion, which defects will be substantially cured by Landlord or Landlord will cause to be substantially cured within a reasonable time following written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord within such one year period. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will assign to Tenant all warranties relating to items of which Landlord is not obligated to maintain under this Lease and will use reasonable efforts to enforce all unassigned warranties for Tenant's benefit. ARTICLE 3 RENT ---- 3.1 Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay as base annual rent (the "Base Rent") --------- during the Term of this Lease a sum equal to $15.90 per rentable square foot of Premises per annum triple net which Base Rent shall be increased annually on each anniversary of the Commencement Date by 2 1.50% over the preceding Lease Year's Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments without notice, deduction, set-off or abatement (except as set forth in Articles 21 and 22 hereof) to Landlord at the address for Landlord set forth in Article 26 or such other address as Landlord may notify Tenant of in writing, in lawful money of the United States payable in advance on the first day of each month. If the Lease Term commences or terminates on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month respectively, then the installments of Base Rent for such month or months shall be prorated and the installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. The term "Lease Year" shall mean each twelve month period subsequent to the Commencement Date. Annual Base Rent is subject to adjustment upon final determination of the rentable square feet of the Premises as set forth in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding --------- the foregoing, in no event will an adjustment be made to the $15.90 amount per rentable square foot referenced above, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. 3.2 Additional Rent. Any other sums of money or charges to be paid by --------------- Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease are designated as "Additional Rent". A failure to pay Additional Rent shall be treated in all events as the failure to pay rent. 3.3 Interest on Late Payments and Late Payment Charge. ------------------------------------------------- Any rent (whether Base Rent or Additional Rent) or other amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the per annum rate of the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 28.11) plus two percent (2%) (the "Default Rate"), but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. Failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one or more such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to charge and collect such interest in connection with any other or similar or like late payments. In addition, in the event any rent or other amounts owing hereunder are not paid within three (3) days after the due date, then Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses, the amount of which will be difficult if not impossible to determine. Accordingly, in addition to such required payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional late charge for any such late payment in the amount of three percent (3%) of the amount of such late payment. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord agrees that if Landlord receives payment of such amounts due within five (5) days of Tenant's written receipt of notice of nonpayment from Landlord, then Landlord shall waive the interest on such late payment and the late charge, but Landlord (i) shall have no obligation to waive such charges and interest more than twice during any calendar year; (ii) shall have no obligation to give notice more than twice during any calendar year; and (iii) shall have no obligation to waive any charges if there is any prior existing uncured default under this Lease. ARTICLE 4 TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT -------------------------------------- In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses (which sum may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2) for the Building Complex as hereinafter set forth in this Section. 4.1 Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings ----------- with respect to the provisions of this Lease: (a) "Tenant's Proportionate or Pro Rata Share" shall mean that fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Premises as determined by Landlord and the denominator of which is estimated to be approximately 72,626 rentable square feet being the total Rentable Area of the Building Complex as determined by Landlord and is estimated to be 48.51% which calculation shall be determined by Landlord and included in the Supplemental Agreement. At such time, if ever, any space is added to or subtracted from the Premises as hereinbelow provided, Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted by Landlord accordingly. Landlord's system for measurement of rentable area shall be a modified BOMA with the total Building rentable/useable ratio applied to every floor based upon Final Plans (as defined in the Work Letter) for the Premises and the Building, as determined by Landlord's architect. Said number for the Premises shall also 3 be "field verified" by Landlord's architect and may be so verified, at Tenant's election, by Tenant's architect. If the field verification of Tenant's architect and Landlord's architect vary by more than 500 square feet, each party shall appoint an architect having at least five years' full-time commercial architectural experience to determine the rentable square feet of the Premises, such process to be completed within twenty (20) days after the date of the appointment of the last architect. If a party does not appoint a qualified architect within five (5) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its architect, then the single architect shall be the sole architect and shall set the square footage number for the Premises. If the selected architects are unable to agree on the number within twenty (20) days after the date the second architect has been appointed, they shall elect a third architect meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within seven (7) days after the last day the two (2) architects are to set the square footage number for the Premises. Each of the parties shall pay for the architect appointed by it and shall bear one-half of the cost of the third architect. The third architect, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third architect, a majority of the architects shall set the rentable square footage for the Premises. If a majority of the. architects are unable to agree on the number within the stipulated period of time, the average of the three architects shall be the applicable number. If the architects fail to establish the square footage number in question prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay rent in accordance with the square footage determined by Landlord's architect until the architects have made their determination. The square footage in question, when finally determined by the architects, shall be retroactive to the Commencement Date, and the first Base Rent payment becoming due after the determination of the applicable square footage shall be adjusted accordingly. (b) "Real Estate Taxes" shall include (i) any form of assessment (including any so-called "special" assessments related to the Building or the Property), license tax, business license fee, business license tax, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, penalty or tax, imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, water, drainage or other improvement or special district thereof, against the Premises, the Building, Property, or Building Complex or any legal or equitable interest of Landlord therein; and (ii) any assessments, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of or in addition to any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes, including, without limitation, those which may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes for purposes of this Lease. The following shall also be included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes for purposes of this Lease, provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Landlord the entire amount thereof. (x) any tax allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rental payable hereunder, including without limitation, any gross income, privilege, sales or excise tax levied by the State, any political subdivision thereof, city, municipal or federal government, with respect to the receipt of such rental, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, and (y) any tax upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, "Real Estate Taxes" shall not include Landlord's federal or state income or net profit taxes (it being understood that net profit taxes are separate and distinct from the gross taxes referenced in subparagraph (x) above), franchise, stock, gift, corporation, excise, transfer, recordation, inheritance or estate taxes. "Real Estate Taxes" included in this definition mean taxes or assessments as estimated for the current year and not due and payable until the following year. Upon receipt of the applicable tax bill, an adjustment will be made between the parties as specifically set forth in Section 4.2 hereof. (c) "Operating Expenses" shall mean all maintenance and operating costs of any kind or nature with respect to the operation, ownership and maintenance of the Building Complex, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of building supplies, window cleaning, costs incurred in connection with all energy sources for the Building Complex such as propane, butane, natural gas, steam, electricity, solar energy and fuel oil; the costs of water and sewer service, janitorial services, both interior and exterior, general maintenance, repair and decorating of the Building Complex including the heating and air conditioning systems and structural components of the Building; 4 landscaping, maintenance, repair and striping of all parking areas; insurance, including fire and extended coverage and public liability insurance and any rental insurance and all risk insurance carried by Landlord, including, without limitation, insurance carried pursuant to Section 10.2; labor costs incurred in the operation and maintenance of the Building Complex, including wages and other payments; costs to Landlord for Workmen's Compensation and disability insurance; payroll taxes and welfare fringe benefits; professional building management fees consistent with competitive arms-length management fees charged for comparable buildings in the Colorado Springs, Colorado market not to exceed 4.5% of the gross annual rents and other income received in connection with the Building Complex, legal, accounting, inspection and reasonable consultation fees incurred in connection with the Building Complex; any association or similar fees or dues; costs of complying with recorded restrictions, covenants and/or easements; any expense attributable to costs incurred by Landlord for any capital improvements or structural repairs to the Building or Property required by any change in the laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or otherwise which were not in effect on the date Landlord obtained its building permit to construct the Building required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of the capital improvements or structural repair; any expense attributable to costs incurred by Landlord for any capital improvements designed primarily to reduce Operating Expenses; and any costs incurred by Landlord in making other capital improvements or other modifications to the Building or any part thereof (except such other capital improvements or modifications affecting the base structure of the Building, the addition of any new base building system in the Building or the replacement of an existing base building system in the Building as specified in subparagraph (xvi) below, and as otherwise specifically excluded below), which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvement or modification with interest on the unamortized amount at the rate paid by Landlord on any funds borrowed for such expenditures in accordance with such reasonable life and amortization schedules and shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Operating Expenses shall expressly exclude the following: (i) Costs of maintenance and repair reimbursed by construction warranties, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, guaranties, service contracts (excluding any mandatory deductibles) or for which Landlord is actually reimbursed by a tenant of the Building; (ii) Alterations or other specific costs attributable solely to other tenant's space in the Building which under the terms of the respective lease is such tenant's responsibility; (iii) Landlord's income taxes;

It is hereby agreed that ---------------------------------------- during each Lease Year of the Lease Term Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for the Building Complex as set forth above. It is agreed that Tenant shall during each calendar ear pay to Landlord an estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses as hereinafter set forth. Beginning with the calendar year 1999, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month following the Commencement Date on the first day of the month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year as reasonably estimated by Landlord, with an adjustment to be made between the parties at a later date as hereinafter provided. Furthermore, Landlord may from time to time but no more than once during any Lease Year furnish Tenant with notice of a re-estimation of the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share and Tenant shall commence paying its re- estimated Pro Rata Share on the first day of the month following receipt of said notice. As soon as practicable following the end of any calendar year, but not later than April 30 of the following year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a detailed and itemized statement setting forth the exact amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed and the difference, if any, between Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year just completed and the estimated amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses (which were paid in accordance with this subparagraph) for such year. Such statement shall also set forth the amount of the estimated Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses reimbursement for the new calendar year computed in accordance with the foregoing provisions. To the extent that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the period covered by such statement is higher than the estimated payments which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days following receipt of said statement from Landlord. To the extent that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the period covered by the Statements is less than the estimated payments which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Landlord shall refund said amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days unless Tenant is in default in which event Landlord shall credit the difference against Tenant's estimated reimbursement for such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the current year. In addition, with respect to the monthly reimbursement, until Tenant receives such statement, Tenant's monthly reimbursement for the new calendar year shall continue to be paid at the then current rate, but Tenant shall commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installments of reimbursement on the basis of the statement beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which Tenant receives such statement. Landlord's failure to provide such statement to Tenant as specified above shall in no way relieve Landlord or Tenant from their respective payment obligations upon an adjustment for actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses in the manner provided above. Landlord agrees to contract only with unaffiliated third party vendors with respect to the services to be provided and included as Operating Expenses under this Lease and agrees to bid such service contracts at least once per annum. Tenant's obligation with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to retain the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as it deems necessary, to secure payment of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the portion of the final calendar year of the Lease during which Tenant was obligated to pay such expenses. If 7 Tenant occupies the Premises for less than a full calendar year during the first or last calendar years of the term hereof, Tenant's Pro Rata Share for such partial year shall be calculated by proportionately reducing the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses to reflect the number of months in such year during which Tenant occupied the Premises. Tenant shall pay its Pro Rata Share within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice thereof. Tenant shall have the right, but not more than once per annum, at any time within one (1) year after a statement of actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for a particular calendar year has been rendered by, Landlord as provided herein, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to examine and audit Landlord's books and records at Landlord's office and during normal business hours and after reasonable notice to Landlord, relating to the determination of such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses. Unless Tenant objects to the statement provided by Landlord within sixty (60) days of receipt of such statement, the adjustment and statement shall be deemed conclusive. In the event of any error in the statement, the amount due the other shall be paid or credited, if applicable, within thirty (30) days of the determination of the error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Tenant initiates an audit of any statement and such audit reflects an error in the statement of more than five percent (5%) in the computation of the total amount of Operating Expenses as set forth in such statement, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such audit. Tenant may request that Landlord initiate a tax appeal, not more than once per annum, and Landlord shall initiate such appeal unless, based upon the reasonable judgment of Landlord's business consultants, Landlord is advised otherwise. If, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord is awarded proceeds from a tax protest or appeal arising from taxes paid during the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay to Tenant its pro rata share of the net proceeds within sixty (60) days following such final ruling and receipt of such proceeds. 4.3 Reimbursement Survives Termination. In the event of the termination ---------------------------------- of this Lease by expiration of the stated term or for any other cause or reason whatsoever prior to the determination of rental adjustment as hereinafter set forth, Tenant's agreement to reimburse Landlord up to the time of termination shall survive termination of the Lease and Tenant shall pay any amount due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor. In the event of the termination of this Lease by expiration of the stated term or for any other cause or reason whatsoever, prior to the determination of rental adjustments as hereinabove set forth, Landlord's agreement to refund any excess additional rental paid by Tenant up to the time of termination shall survive termination of the Lease and Landlord shall pay the amount due to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord's determination of such amount unless Tenant is in default in which event it shall be credited against sums due Landlord. This covenant shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. If the last year of the term of this Lease ends on any day other than the last day of December, any payment due to Landlord of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs shall be prorated on the basis by which the number of days in such partial year bears to 365. Any failure of Landlord to furnish Tenant with an estimate of its Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses or any statements as set forth in this Section 4 shall not act to relieve Tenant of its liability therefor; and with respect to any deficiencies, Tenant agrees to pay same within thirty (30) days of written demand from Landlord. ARTICLE 5 BUILDING SERVICES ----------------- 5.1 Standard Services. Landlord shall maintain the base building systems ----------------- within the Building (other than those installed by Tenant in the Premises, if any). Such base building systems include plumbing, electrical and heating ventilation and air conditioning equipment. Specifically, Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises during regular business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturdays, except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and subject to 8 the rules and regulations of the Building, heat and air conditioning for the use and occupancy of the Premises, passenger elevator service and freight elevator service, if any, subject to scheduling by Landlord. The heat and air conditioning shall be provided to the Premises substantially in accordance with the Outline Specifications. Landlord shall not be liable for repairs necessitated by Tenant's misuse, abuse or negligence of said base building systems. Landlord shall also furnish: (1) electric current to be supplied for lighting the Premises and public halls and for the operation of Ordinary Office Equipment, as defined below; (ii) janitorial and cleaning services, and (iii) domestic water in reasonable quantity. Elevator service shall mean service either by non-attended automatic elevators or elevators with attendants at the option of Landlord which shall be available at all times subject to repair, maintenance, casualty and Force Majeure. Landlord shall also furnish to the Premises (at rates reasonably set by Landlord, not to exceed its actual costs) heating and air conditioning during times other than regular business hours and such other items as are not provided for herein, provided Tenant gives Landlord not less than twenty-four (24) hours notice of Tenant's needs for such additional heating or air conditioning; provided however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide such additional needs to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible following receipt of Tenant's notice. Landlord shall also, at said times, maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, entries, and toilet rooms in the Building that would reasonably be subject to use by Tenant, its agents and employees during other than regular business hours. Landlord also has the right to charge Tenant for energy costs, including any increase in utility rates, incurred because of Tenant's above Building average usage at any time or by reason of usage of the Premises or the Building during other than regular business hours. Any additional or above-average usage of services by Tenant shall be measured in accordance with Landlord's energy management system or by meter or submeter (at Tenant's expense if Landlord reasonably identifies, after review of Tenant's space plans, that an area in the Premises is likely to require additional or above-average usage of services by Tenant) and the costs to Tenant for such additional services shall be calculated in accordance therewith. For purposes hereof, Ordinary Office Equipment shall include current (or comparable to current) everyday office equipment, both in size of the equipment and number of units utilized within the Premises, for office tenants in first class office buildings in Briargate Business Campus in Colorado Springs, Colorado and shall specifically exclude computers or other equipment that require special cooling, venting or generators for the operation thereof. 5.2 Interruption of Standard Services. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall --------------------------------- not be liable for failure to supply any heating, air conditioning, elevator, janitorial services, electric current, or any other service described in Section 5.1 above during any period if Landlord uses reasonable diligence to restore or to supply such services or electric current, it being further agreed that Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue such services or any of them, or electric current at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations, or improvements, or whenever by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, legal requirements or any other happening or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If Landlord is unable to furnish such services or electric current, Landlord shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such discontinuance, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as a constructive or actual eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord's obligation to furnish services or electric current shall be conditioned upon the availability of adequate energy sources from the public utility companies presently serving the Building Complex. Landlord shall have the right to reduce heating, cooling or lighting within the Premises and in the public area in the Building as required by any mandatory fuel or energy-saving program. Furthermore, due to energy code design requirements as promulgated from time to time, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it may on certain days experience discomfort with the heating and air conditioning cycle, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that if there is an interruption or discontinuance of the services which Landlord has agreed to provide that renders the Premises untenantable and such interruption or discontinuance is within Landlord's reasonable control and continues for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days after Landlord receives written notice thereof from Tenant (hereinafter referred to as an "Unauthorized Interruption"), Tenant's rent shall abate, provided Landlord can recover such rent through Landlord's rent loss/business interruption insurance covering the Building, commencing at the end of said ten (10) day period and continuing until such time as the Premises are rendered tenantable, if Landlord has failed to correct or premeditate the cause of such Unauthorized Interruption within such ten day period. In any case, if the Unauthorized Interruption is the result of any willful misconduct or negligent acts on the part of Tenant, its agents or employees, or due to Tenant's default, Tenant's rent shall not abate. If Tenant continues to nonetheless use any part of the Premises for conducting its business, 9 the rent shall abate only in proportion to the part rendered untenantable and not so used. Furthermore, if Landlord's rent loss/business interruption insurance will only cover a portion of Tenant's rent, the rent shall abate only as to the portion covered by such insurance. 5.3 Services Paid by Tenant. Unless otherwise provided by Landlord, ----------------------- Tenant shall separately arrange with the applicable local public authorities or utilities, as the case may be, for the furnishing of and payment for all telephone services as may be required by Tenant in the use of the Premises. Tenant shall directly pay for telephone services, including the establishment and connection thereof, at the rates charged for such services by said authority or utility, and the failure of Tenant to obtain or to continue to receive such services for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. 5.4 Above-Standard Service Requirements. If heat-generating machines or ----------------------------------- equipment other than Ordinary Office Equipment, including telephone equipment, cause the temperature in the Premises, or any part thereof, to exceed the temperatures the Building's air conditioning system would be able to maintain in such Premises were it not for such heat generating equipment, then after notice to Tenant and reasonable opportunity to cure, Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and the reasonable cost thereof, including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord. Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device which will in any way increase the amount of electricity or water which Landlord reasonably determines to be reasonable for use of the Premises as general office space, nor connect with electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) or water pipes any apparatus or device for the purposes of using electric current, other energy or water. Landlord shall (if it reasonably determines that Tenant's use may be excessive) have the right to install one or more separately submetered electrical circuits to serve all of Tenant's equipment, machinery or appliances which equipment, machinery or appliances requires electrical current supplied to the Premises as the same is determined by Landlord which reasonable costs of submetering shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for the submetered electrical current utilized by Tenant at the rates charged to Landlord to purchase electrical current for the Building, such reimbursement to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of the billing therefor; such billing to occur no more frequently than monthly. 5.5 Cleaning. Tenant shall not provide any janitorial or cleaning -------- services without Landlord's written consent (which may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion), and then only subject to supervision of Landlord, at Tenant's sole responsibility, and by a janitorial or cleaning contractor or employees at all times reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. 5.6 Re-Lamping.

In no event shall the requirement of Landlord's consent for alterations create any liability of Landlord to Tenant or any third party arising from or related to such legal requirements. 6.3 Good Condition.

Landlord shall provide to Tenant its response to Tenant's request for assignment or subletting within fifteen (15) days following the date that Landlord receives such written request from Tenant.

Such sublease, however, shall remain subject to Landlord's consent upon its evaluation of the criteria specified in this Section 7.1. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or more subletting of Premises shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights under this section.

Intentionally Deleted. --------------- 7.4 Affiliated Entities. Provided Tenant is not in default (following ------------------- written notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) hereunder, Tenant may sublet or assign to any Affiliated Entity (as defined below) without Landlord's prior consent provided Tenant delivers to Landlord a copy of the executed sublease or assignment on a Landlord approved form to Landlord within ten (10) days of such subletting or assignment, which subletting or assignment shall be subject to all of 12 the liabilities and obligations set forth herein and Tenant shall not be released of any of its liabilities hereunder.

Tenant and employees and all ------------------------------------- persons visiting or doing business with Tenant in the Premises shall be bound by and shall observe the Rules and Regulations as set forth in Exhibit E, attached --------- hereto and made a part hereof, which may, at Landlord's reasonable discretion, be promulgated, amended, or expanded from time to time during the Lease term by Landlord relating to the Building, the Building Complex and/or the Premises of which reasonable prior notice in writing shall be given to Tenant and all such rules and regulations as changed from time to time shall be deemed to be incorporated into and form a part of this Lease. Tenant shall further be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by Tenant's employees, agents, patrons and invitees while in the Building. Any default in the performance or 13 observance of such rules and regulations shall be a default hereunder pursuant to the terms of Section 24.1 and Landlord shall have all remedies provided for in Section 24.2 in the event of an uncured default by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided herein, Landlord however, shall not be responsible to Tenant for nonobservance by any other tenant or person of any tenant or person of any such rules and regulations. Landlord agrees to enforce the Rules and Regulations against Tenant in a manner reasonably consistent with its enforcement of such rules and regulations against other tenants; however, Tenant acknowledges that certain rules or regulations may be specific to a tenant or use and that such rules or regulations may not be applicable to all tenants and cannot be enforced uniformly.

All policies shall be primary and noncontributing over any valid and collectible insurance of any of the additional insureds.

Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3 above, Tenant shall additionally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses, liabilities, or losses relating to any violation by Tenant of any Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined) or of Section 12.2 (including, without limitation, a decrease in value of the Premises, damages caused by loss or restriction of rentable or usable space, damages caused by adverse impact on marketing of space, and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees, and expert fees, in each case if and to the extent related directly to such violation) incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising during or after the term of this Lease as a result thereof. This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all reasonable costs incurred because of any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, testing, or restoration mandated or conducted by or on behalf of any federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision with respect to Tenant's violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. In the event Landlord shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, licensees, concessionaires or invitees, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation whether or not such action is contested or prosecuted to judgment, subject to Section 28.12 hereof. All personal property on the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole risk, and Landlord shall not be liable for, and subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any 17 liability in connection with, any damage done to or loss of such personal property or for damage or loss suffered by Tenant, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees acting within the scope of their employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth herein shall not be applicable to the extent that the act from which the indemnity arose was caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts of the Landlord. 14.2 Indemnification by Landlord. Other than as expressly set forth in --------------------------- that certain Phase I Environmental Report dated August, 1997 and prepared by CTL/Thompson Inc. (a copy of which has been provided to Tenant), Landlord has no actual knowledge of the release or disposal of any Hazardous Substances within the Building Complex and, except for De Minimis Amounts, Landlord shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be used, stored, generated or disposed of on, in or about the Building Complex in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses, liabilities or losses arising from any governmental entity or other third party seeking to enforce against Tenant or seeking damages from Tenant, or seeking to join Tenant in any legal action pertaining to the violation by Landlord of any Environmental Law(s).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth herein shall not be applicable to the extent that the act from which the indemnity arose was caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts of the Tenant. The indemnity set forth in this Section 14.2 shall not be binding upon any Mortgagee and Tenant shall look solely to the respective landlord when such landlord is finally held to have violated the Environmental Law or caused injury or damage as set forth above. Neither the predecessor in interest nor the successor in interest to such landlord shall be liable to Tenant for this indemnity. 14.3 Comparative Fault. To the extent that either Landlord or Tenant ----------------- (inclusive of their respective employees, agents, contractors, servants, concessionaires, licensees, or invitees) is finally held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be partially at fault for any claim for which an indemnity obligation arises hereunder, then neither Landlord nor Tenant as against each other shall indemnify, defend or hold the other harmless and each party shall be liable only to the extent of the percentage of its own fault as finally held by the court of competent jurisdiction. ARTICLE 15 ALTERATIONS ----------- 15.1 Alterations by Tenant. Other than (i) alterations of a cosmetic --------------------- nature, including painting, carpeting, wall coverings or such other modifications of a similar nature and (ii) alterations resulting in a total cost to Tenant of $10,000.00 or less per event, Tenant shall not make, install or erect in or to the Premises any installations, alterations, modifications, additions or partitions without obtaining a building permit therefor, if applicable, and without submitting the drawings and specifications to Landlord and obtaining Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (in no event shall Tenant be permitted to make any alterations to any building systems, structural, mechanical, electrical or otherwise, or to any portion of the Building or Building Complex other than within the Premises as shown in the Final Plans approved pursuant to the Work Plan). Furthermore, Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any change or changes in such drawings or specifications submitted as aforesaid. Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost to Landlord of having its architects, engineers, or other consultants review such plans and changes thereto prior to proceeding with any work based on such drawings or specifications. All such work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, free and clear of all mechanic's liens, and in compliance with the provisions of Article II hereof, and once commenced shall be diligently pursued through completion, and Landlord shall have no liability for the performance of such work, notwithstanding its consent to any plans and specifications. PROVIDED NEVERTHELESS that Landlord may, at its option, at Tenant's expense, require that Landlord's contractors be engaged for any mechanical or electrical work or other leasehold improvement affecting the base building systems for the Building Complex. Without limiting the generality of 18 the foregoing, any work performed by or for Tenant shall be performed by competent workmen whose labor union affiliations are not incompatible with those of any workmen who may be employed in the Building Complex by Landlord, its contractors or subcontractors. In addition to the above all contractors and subcontractors must meet Landlord's specifications, as reasonably determined by Landlord, for minimum requirements for insurance, bonds, quality of work, experience and such other reasonably applicable factors. Tenant shall submit to Landlord's supervision over construction, shall, if the total cost for any such alteration will exceed S50,000, provide Landlord upon request with financial assurances prior to the commencement of such alteration, and promptly pay to Landlord's or Tenant's subcontractors, as the case may be, when due, the costs of all such work and of all materials, labor and services involved therein and of all decoration and all changes in the Building, its equipment or services necessitated thereby. Tenant covenants that Tenant will not suffer or permit during the Term hereof any mechanics' or other liens for work, labor, services or materials ordered by Tenant or for the cost of which Tenant may be in any way obligated, to attach to the Premises or to the Building Complex and that whenever and so often as any such liens shall attach or claims therefor shall be filed, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant has notice of the claim for lien, procure the discharge thereof by payment or by giving security or in such other manner as is or may be required or permitted by law or which shall otherwise satisfy Landlord and or Landlord's mortgagee. Tenant hereby indemnifies and saves Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, penalty, cost expense or fee (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by or asserted against Landlord as a result of the existence of any lien against the Building, Premises or the Property arising from any labor, materials or other claims against Tenant or work or materials ordered by or for Tenant. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, take out or cause to be taken out any additional insurance reasonably required by Landlord to protect Landlord's, the mortgagee's and Tenant's interest during the period of alteration, to the extent commercially reasonable.. At least five (5) days prior to the commencement of any work permitted to be done by persons requested by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the proposed work and the names and addresses of the persons supplying labor and materials for the proposed work so that Landlord may avail itself of the provisions of statutes such as Section 38-22-105(2) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (1973). During any such work on the Premises, Landlord, or its representatives, shall have the right to go upon and inspect the Promises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep posted thereon notices such as those provided for by Section 38-22-105(2) C.R.S. (1973) or to take any further commercially reasonable action which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord's interest in the Premises. 15.2 Alterations by Landlord. Provided such change does not in any way ----------------------- materially adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated herein, Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time and from time to time and without any liability to Tenant for any claims, to make changes in, additions to, subtractions from or rearrangements of the Building Complex, including, without limitation, all improvements at any time thereof, all entrances and exits thereto, and to grant, modify and terminate easements or other agreements pertaining to the Building Complex, including, but not limited to, the entrance foyer and lobby, and the common corridors and to make changes or additions to the pipes, conduits, ducts, utilities and other building services in the Premises which serve other portions of the Building, provided further that prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord may alter the Premises to the extent found necessary by Landlord to accommodate changes in construction design or facilities including major alterations but the Premises, as altered, shall be in all material aspects comparable to the Premises as defined herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord intends to materially modify the scope of work with respect to construction of the Building from that which is set forth in the Outline Specifications and Site Plan attached hereto, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of the same and to obtain Tenant's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to such modification. If Tenant does not respond to Landlord within five (5) business days following written notification by Landlord, such non-response shall be deemed an approval of such modification. Any expense by Landlord of the above rights including entry upon the Premises shall be without liability to Tenant, including any claims of interference and without affecting this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable effort to avoid interference with Tenant's business in the Premises. 19 ARTICLE 16 SIGNS AND ADVERTISING --------------------- 16.1 Except as set forth in Section 32.7, Tenant shall not install, paint, display, inscribe, place or affix any sign, picture, advertisements, notice, lettering or direction on any part of the Building Complex or in the interior of the Premises or other portion of the Building. Landlord will prescribe a uniform pattern of identification signs for tenants to be placed on the outside corridor wall which is near the door leading into the Premises and will provide for standard directory identification in the lobby of the Building and other than such identification signs, Tenant shall not install, paint, display, inscribe, place or affix, or otherwise attach, any sign, picture, advertisement, notice, lettering or direction on the inside or outside of the Premises for exterior view without the written consent of Landlord which may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. The costs for installation of the identification signs described herein shall be credited against the amount of the Allowance described in Exhibit C. --------- ARTICLE 17 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES AND DEEDS OF TRUST --------------------------------------------- 17.1 Subject to Landlord's obligation to obtain for Tenant non-disturbance agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 17, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter existing against the Building Complex and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advances made, or hereafter to be made, upon the security thereof. Although such subordination shall be self-operating, Tenant, or its successors in interest, shall upon Landlord's request, execute and deliver within ten (10) business days any and all instruments desired by Landlord, subordinating, in the manner reasonably requested by Landlord, this Lease to any such mortgage or deed of trust. If Tenant fails to return the subordination documents within ten (10) business days then all subordination documents at Landlord's option shall irrevocably and conclusively be deemed affirmed and approved by Tenant and Landlord may exercise any other right or remedy for Tenant's failure to execute and return the subordination documents. Should any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Building Complex be foreclosed, then: (a) except for certain maintenance and repair obligations that are of a continuing nature (and continue beyond the date of transfer to the extent of such continuance), the liability of the mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser at such foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure shall exist only as to the liability and obligations of Landlord accruing or arising after the date of such transfer and only so long as such mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser is the owner of the Building Complex and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (b) the liability for any security deposits or prepaid rents of the mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser at such foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure sale shall exist only to the extent that the mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser actually received the security deposits or prepaid rents and failed to apply such sums in accordance with the Lease or, if applicable, failed to transfer or assign such sums to any subsequent purchaser or transferee. (c) Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned, as Tenant under this Lease, to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale thereunder or transferee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between and binding upon Tenant and such purchaser or transferee, subject to the terms of any subordination and non- disturbance agreements obtained as set forth in this Article 17. As used in this Article 17 "mortgagee" and "beneficiary" shall include successors and assigns of any such party, whether immediate or remote, the purchaser of any mortgage or deed of trust, whether at foreclosure or otherwise, and the successors, assigns and mortgagees and beneficiaries of such purchaser, whether immediate or remote. 20 Landlord agrees to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from its current construction lender, ORIX Real Estate Equities, Inc., in a form satisfactory to such lender and approved by Tenant, and at the written request of Tenant, agrees to grant to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from Landlord. The subordination and attornment set forth in this Article 17 are expressly subject to receipt by Tenant from any future mortgagee or beneficiary of a non-disturbance agreement with respect to Tenant, which agreement shall be evidenced on such mortgagee's standard form of nondisturbance agreement (or on a commercially reasonable form acceptable to mortgagee if mortgagee does not have a standard form), stating that Tenant's right to the continued use and possession of the Premises shall be under the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease provided that at such time Tenant is not in default of its obligations herein. All of the provisions of this Article 17 will be effective including without limitation subsections (a) through (c) set forth above. Tenant shall execute any subordination and attornment and non-disturbance agreement that conforms to the conditions set forth herein within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. Failure of any party to return the subordination and attornment and non- disturbance agreement set forth in this Article 17 within the ten (10) business day period shall conclusively and irrevocably be deemed an affirmation and approval of such agreements by the applicable party and the requesting party may exercise any other right or remedy for such other party's failure to properly and/or timely execute and return such agreements. ARTICLE 18 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE/FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------------------ 18.1 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant and Landlord agree that they will each -------------------- from time to time, upon request by the other (for the benefit of the requesting party and its designated proposed mortgagee or purchaser), execute and deliver to the other within ten (10) business days after demand therefor an estoppel certificate on a commercially reasonable form (or the form of any prospective mortgagee or purchaser) certifying, among other items, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified) and, to the best of such party's knowledge, there are no defaults under the Lease or if so specifying such defaults. Failure to return the estoppel certificate within the ten (10) business day period shall conclusively and irrevocably be deemed an affirmation and approval of the estoppel certificate by such party and the requesting party may exercise any other right or remedy for such other party's failure to properly and/or timely execute and return the estoppel certificate. 18.2 Financial Information. Tenant shall, from time to time at reasonable --------------------- intervals upon Landlord's written request but not more than once each fiscal year, deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant's most recent audited financial statements, which audited financial statements shall be prepared by Tenant or Tenant's accountant no less often than once per year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP"), any interim financial statements which have been prepared after the date of the most current audited financial statement, and 10-Q's or 10-K's when issued, if any. ARTICLE 19 QUIET ENJOYMENT --------------- 19.1 Subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have possession of the Premises during the term hereof, without hindrance by Landlord or those claiming by or through Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any interference by other tenants or third parties nor shall this Lease or Tenant's obligations hereunder be affected thereby. ARTICLE 20 FIXTURES -------- 20.1 Any or all installations, alterations, additions, partitions and fixtures other than Tenant's trade fixtures in or upon the Premises, whether placed there by Tenant or Landlord, shall, immediately upon such placement, become the property of Landlord without compensation therefor to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Landlord shall be under no obligation to 21 repair, maintain or insure such installations, alterations, additions, partitions and fixtures or anything in the nature of a leasehold improvement made or installed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord may elect that any or all installations made or installed by or on behalf of Tenant be removed at the end of the Lease Term and, if Landlord so elects, it shall be Tenant's obligation to restore the Premises to the condition it was in previous to such alterations, installations, partitions and fixtures, on or before the termination of this Lease. Such removal and restoration shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, to the extent that Landlord's consent to any such installation as set forth above is required, Landlord, if it gives such consent, will, if requested by Tenant, notify Tenant as to whether removal of such installation will be required. ARTICLE 21 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION --------------------- 21.1 Casualty. In the event that the Building should be totally -------- destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, or should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed in Landlord's reasonable estimation within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease in which event the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective with the date of such damage, or Landlord may proceed to rebuild the Building and the Premises. In the event the Building should be damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, but only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs in Landlord's reasonable estimation can be completed within one hundred eighty (I 80) days after the date of such damage, or if the damage cannot be repaired within such time frame but Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, in such event, Landlord shall, promptly following receipt of all applicable permits and insurance proceeds, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage commence to rebuild or repair the Building and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building to substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures and other improvements which may have been placed by Tenant or other tenants within the Building. If the Premises are damaged and in Landlord's reasonable estimation the repairs cannot be completed within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of such damage, then if Landlord has not otherwise terminated the Lease Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease within ninety (90) days of the date of such damage. In the event any mortgagee under a deed of trust, security agreement or mortgage on the Building should require that the insurance proceeds be used to retire the mortgage debt, Landlord shall have no obligation to rebuild and if Landlord so elects, this Lease shall terminate upon notice to Tenant. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, any insurance which may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole control. If Tenant's Premises are untenantable and Landlord does not complete the repair thereof within the time periods estimated by Landlord, subject to extension thereof by Force Majeure, and such failure to complete is not a result of Tenant Delay, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, if during such thirty (30) day period the repairs are not completed by Landlord. If Tenant does not so elect to terminate and Landlord elects to rebuild the Building or portions thereof, so long as Tenant provides Landlord with the plans and if specifications necessary for the re-construction of its leasehold improvements and the insurance proceeds or other source of funds provided by Tenant are collectively sufficient in amount to cover such administrative, hard and soft construction, and such other costs incurred by Landlord, Landlord agrees to re- construct Tenant's damaged leasehold improvements for and on behalf of Tenant. 21.2 Casualty Caused by Tenant. If fire or other casualty causing injury ------------------------- to the Premises or other parts of the Building shall have been caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants or employees, or by any other persons entering the Building under express or implied invitation of Tenant, such injury may be repaired by Landlord at the expense of Tenant provided such injury is not recoverable under any applicable insurance policy covering the Premises or the Building (required to be carried under this Lease), and in no event shall Tenant have any right to terminate or abate rent. 21.3 Rent. If the Lease is not terminated then Base Rent and Tenant's ---- Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be equitably abated based upon the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by such casualty, from the date of the casualty until completion, provided such casualty was not caused by Tenant, its agents or employees. 22 ARTICLE 22 CONDEMNATION ------------ 22.1 Eminent Domain. If five percent (5%) or more of the Rentable Area -------------- of the Premises is taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof, and if such taking interferes substantially with Tenant's use of the Premises in Tenant's reasonable determination, then this Lease, at the option of either party evidenced by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days from such taking or conveyance, shall forthwith cease and terminate entirely. In the event of such termination of this Lease, then rental shall be due and payable to the actual date of such termination. If less than five percent (5%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises is taken, or if five percent (5%) or more of the Premises is taken and neither party terminates this Lease, this Lease shall cease and terminate as to that portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of such taking, and the rental thereafter payable under this Lease shall be abated pro rata from the date of such taking in an amount by which that portion of the Rentable Area of the Premises so taken shall bear to the Rentable Area of the Premises prior to such taking. If any part of the Building Complex shall be taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof, and if such taking substantially interferes with Landlord's ownership or use of the Building Complex in Landlord's reasonable determination, Landlord, at its option, may upon ninety (90) days' notice to Tenant (or such longer period of time allowed by the subject taking), terminate this Lease as of the date specified in such notice. 22.2 Damages. All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of ------- private sale in lieu thereof) of the Premises or Building Complex shall be the property of Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made to Tenant for the taking of Tenant's fixtures and other personal property or moving expenses if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant. 22.3 Restoration. If both Landlord and Tenant elect not to terminate this ----------- Lease, Tenant shall remain in that portion of the Premises which shall not have been appropriated or taken as herein provided, and Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (to the extent of proceeds received), to, as soon as reasonably possible, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to such appropriation or taking. ARTICLE 23 LOSS AND DAMAGE AND DELAY ------------------------- 23.1 Loss and Damage. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any --------------- way for: (a) any death or injury arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Building Complex or for damage to property of Tenant or others located on the Premises, nor shall it be responsible in any event for damage to any property of Tenant or others from any cause whatsoever, unless such damage, loss, injury or death results from the intentional misconduct or gross or sole negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees.

(iv) If the Third and/or Fourth Expansion Options are exercised and there are less than thirty-six (36) months remaining on the then Lease Term, upon exercise of either such option, the Lease Term shall be automatically extended so that there are thirty-six (36) months remaining from the date that rent commences for the applicable Expansion Space (such thirty-six (36) or other applicable month extension to occur only one time in connection with each applicable Expansion Option). Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may elect to lease up to 1,500 rentable square feet or less of unleased space in the Building for which Landlord has not otherwise entered into a letter of intent at any time on the same terms as set forth in the Third and Fourth Expansion Rights provided there is no Tenant Improvement Allowance and any remaining adjacent unleased space must be of a size and configuration that are leasable in Landlord's reasonable discretion. (v) Base Rent once determined for the applicable Expansion Space continues to escalate at the same rate and at the same time as the Base Rent for the remainder of the Premises. 32.9 Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of ---------------------- first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to lease any space in the Premises of the Building subject to and in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Prior to Landlord executing any lease with a bona fide third party for such contiguous space (the "Refusal Space"), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice identifying a proposed lease or letter of intent which Landlord is willing to accept, subject to this Right of First Refusal (the "Offer Notice"). The Offer Notice shall set forth the date that such proposed lease is to commence (the "Refusal Space Commencement Date"). Tenant agrees to keep the information contained in the letter of intent confidential. (b) The Tenant shall have five (5) business days from receipt of the Offer Notice to either accept or reject the Refusal Space. If Tenant rejects the Refusal Space or if Landlord has not received the written acceptance or rejection of the Refusal Space from Tenant by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) business day as set forth herein, time being of the essence, then Landlord shall have no further obligation or liability to Tenant pertaining to the Refusal Space and Landlord may enter into a lease with such tenant on such terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer Notice, unless Landlord and such tenant, or an affiliated entity of such tenant, fails to enter into a lease for the Refusal Space for any reason in which event Tenant's Right of First Refusal shall be deemed reinstated. (c) If the Refusal Space is accepted by Tenant in accordance herewith, this Lease shall be amended effective as of the Refusal Space Commencement Date to include the Refusal Space on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Third and Fourth Expansion Spaces. (d) This Right of Refusal shall not be applicable unless there are at least thirty-six months remaining on the Lease. (e) This Right of First Refusal is subject to any rights of tenants under leases for which Tenant did not exercise this Right of First Refusal. (f) This Right of First Refusal shall be deemed void and of no further force and effect if there is an uncured event of default as set forth in Article 24 or if Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises in violation of the terms of this Lease. 33 32.10 Option to Extend. Tenant shall have an option to extend the Lease ---------------- for three (3) additional consecutive terms, each consisting of five (5) years. In order to exercise such option, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least 120, but not more than 240, days prior to the expiration of the respective lease term of its election to exercise the option, upon which time Landlord shall submit in writing within 30 days thereafter a proposal for the then current Market Base Rental Rate (per rentable square foot per annum) for the extended term. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of said notice to (i) accept the proposed Base Rental Rate in writing to Landlord (ii) to reject the Base Rental Rate and elect the appraisal process set forth below or (iii) elect not to extend. If Tenant elects not to extend or fails to timely exercise its option, time being of the essence, the options shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect and this Lease shall terminate upon expiration of the then Lease term. Any such extension shall be upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease except as to (i) the amount of Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth herein, (ii) other than as remain applicable under this Lease, options to extend, expand or rights of refusal, which shall not be applicable, and (iii) Tenant Allowances or other economic concessions which shall not be applicable to the extension term. As used herein, "Market Base Rental Rate" shall mean the then Base Rental Rate for comparable first class multi-tenant office buildings of comparable size, location and age, with comparable tenants leasing comparable amounts of space, in the County of El Paso, Colorado, at such time, taking into account the following factors (1) rent per rentable square foot; (2) operating expenses and real estate tax payments; (3) current rental escalators; and (4) rental concessions, including tenant improvement allowances, if any, as applicable to market renewals of leases. If Tenant, by written notice delivered no later than thirty (30) days after the date Landlord notifies Tenant of the Market Base Rental Rate, objects to the Market Base Rental Rate determined by Landlord and elects to submit the rate determination to appraisal, then, within seven (7) days of the date of Tenant's objection, each party shall appoint a non-affiliated certified M.A.I. Appraiser that has at least five (5) years' full-time commercial appraisal experience in El Paso County to determine the Market Base Rental Rate, such process to be completed within twenty (20) days after the date of the appointment of the last appraiser. If a party does not appoint a qualified appraiser within five (5) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser then the single appraiser shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Market Base Rental Rate. The appraisers appointed by the parties shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Market Base Rental Rate. If they are unable to agree on the Market Base Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after the date the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall elect a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within seven (7) days after the last day the two (2) appraisers are to set the Market Base Rental Rate. If the appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser within said time frame, either of the parties to this Lease, after giving five (5) days' prior written notice to the other party, may apply to the then president of the real estate board of Denver, Colorado for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in this Section, which selection shall be made within three (3) business days. All determinations of Market Base Rental Rate shall be subject to the limitations on Market Base Rental Rate set forth in the first paragraph of this Section. Each of the parties shall pay for the appraiser appointed by it and shall bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party. Within twenty (20) days after the selection of the third appraiser, the third appraiser shall determine the Market Base Rental Rate and all three of the appraiser's Market Base Rental Rates shall be averaged excluding any single Market Base Rental Rate which is either ten percent (10%) higher or lower than the middle appraisal of Market Base Rental Rate and the remaining appraisals shall then be averaged. If the Market Base Rental Rate is not established for the extended term prior to its commencement, Tenant shall continue to pay the applicable Base Rent required for the last full month of the Lease term until the appraisers have made their determination. The Market Base Rental Rate in question, when finally determined by the appraisers, shall be retroactive to the commencement of the extension term, and the first Base Rent payment becoming due after the determination of the applicable Market Base Rental Rate shall include the retroactive amounts of monthly Base Rent installments accrued and unpaid. In no event may either Landlord or Tenant elect not to extend the Lease based upon the Market Base Rental Rate established in accordance herewith. 34 This option to extend may not be exercised and the Lease shall not be extended if Tenant is in default which default is not cured within any applicable cure periods or if this Lease has been sublet or assigned other than to an Affiliated Entity as set forth in Section 7.4 hereof or to an entity for which financials have been provided to and approved by Landlord as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof. Furthermore, time is of the essence hereof, any failure of Tenant to give any notice required hereunder within the required time period shall render this option null and void. 32.11 Vacation. Tenant may, provided it complies with all other terms of -------- this Lease, including payment of Rent, vacate the Premises in whole or in part provided Tenant gives Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to vacate. 32.12 Right to Test Equipment. Provided Tenant is not in default under ----------------------- this Lease, Landlord shall install for Tenant's use during the Lease Term, a testing area on the roof of the Building, as more particularly set forth on Exhibit K attached hereto (the "Testing Area"), a walkway providing access to - --------- the Testing Area and one (1) 120 volt duplex outlet in the Testing Area. The Testing Area shall be for purposes of testing Tenant's communications equipment (the "Equipment"). Tenant in accessing the roof and testing its Equipment, shall be permitted to enter only upon the walkway and the Testing Area, which Testing Area may be relocated by Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion and at Landlord's sole expense; provided, however, that in all such events the Testing Area shall be in a location that allows Tenant to use the same as necessary for Tenant's business, and Tenant shall not interfere with any base building systems or other systems of the Building and shall not attach any fixture to the roof. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, agrees to keep, maintain, operate and remove the Equipment in and from the Testing Area in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances or other requirements of any kind or nature of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or the requirements of Landlord's insurance underwriters and in compliance with any roofing warranties of which Tenant has knowledge. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord's insurance underwriters have imposed no additional requirements or insurance premiums in connection with the Testing Area and Tenant's use thereof Subject to the waiver of subrogation as set forth in Section 10.3 of the Lease, which is incorporated herein by reference, if the Building, Building Complex, elevators, boilers, engines, pipes, electrical apparatus, or any other elements of the Building or the Building roof or any portion thereof, become damaged or destroyed through any act of Tenant, its servants, agents, employees, contractors or anyone permitted by Tenant to be working in the Building or on the Equipment or the Testing Area, whether or not such act was a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any such party, then the reasonable cost of any repairs, replacements, alterations and all damages incurred by Landlord shall be borne by Tenant who shall, within thirty (30) days of demand, pay the same to Landlord. If, during the term of the Lease, Tenant desires to install any of its equipment on the roof of the Building, such installation shall be performed in accordance with that certain Communications License, attached hereto as Exhibit L, to be executed by and between the parties --------- prior to any such installation. 32.13 Self Help Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary ---------------- contained in this Lease, if (i) Landlord fails to perform any maintenance or repair obligations of Landlord under this Lease (excluding any maintenance and repair to the base building structure and/or base building systems of the Building); (ii) such failure materially adversely affects Tenant's ability to conduct its business in the Premises, and (iii) such failure is not cured within ten (10) business days (or such longer period of time if such cure cannot be accomplished within ten (10) business days, provided Landlord commences such cure within such ten (10) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion) after receipt of written notice to Landlord (and any mortgagee of which Tenant has been provided written notice) (the "Self-Help Notice"), then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have performed such maintenance or repair. In such event, such work shall be performed by competent workmen whose labor union affiliations are not incompatible with those of any workmen then employed in the Building Complex by Landlord, its contractors and subcontractors and such workmen shall carry insurance which complies with the requirements set forth in Section 10.1(f) hereof. Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses, liabilities, or losses relating to any work performed by Tenant's workmen with respect to this Section 32.13. Within thirty (30) business days after receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant evidencing all commercially reasonable amounts incurred by Tenant in connection with the performance of any such maintenance or repair (the "Invoice Notice"), Landlord shall pay to Tenant all such amounts, together with interest thereon at the Default 35 Rate from the date of the Invoice Notice until the date on which such amounts are paid to Tenant in full.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION PREPARED BY: PAUL J. HUSSONG JR ENGINEERING, LTD 4935 N. 30TH STREET COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80919 DATED JULY 23, 1996 JOB NO. 8714.70 === PAGE 2 EXHIBIT C WORK LETTER This WORK LETTER ("Work Letter") is entered into as of the _____ day of April, 1998, by and between ORIX PRIME WEST COLORADO SPRINGS VENTURE, a Colorado general partnership ("Landlord"), and DECISION-SCIENCE APPLICATIONS, INC., a Virginia corporation ("Tenant"). R E C I T A L S: - - - - - - - - A. Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter, Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain premises (the "Premises") more particularly described in Exhibit A attached to the Lease. To --------- the extent applicable, the provisions of the Lease are incorporated herein by this reference. B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. As used in the Lease and this Work Letter, the term ------------------- "Tenant Improvements" or "Tenant Improvement Work" means those items of general tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Plans (described in Paragraph 4 below), more particularly described in Paragraph 5 below. The selection of the general contractor (the "Contractor") to perform such Tenant Improvement Work, the Contractor's fee for overhead and profit and the Contractor's budget for general conditions shall all be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either party. Landlord shall contract with such mutually agreed upon Contractor and with the architect and all mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers to be hired to perform the design of the Premises. 2. WORK SCHEDULE. Attached to this Exhibit C is a schedule ("Work Schedule") ------------- --------- which sets forth a timetable of critical dates for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements and the Commencement Date of the Lease. The Work Schedule describes certain of the critical items of work to be done or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements. All plans and drawings required by this Work Letter and all work performed pursuant thereto are to be prepared and performed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Based upon developments during construction of the Tenant Improvements, the parties may modify the Work Schedule as appropriate to reflect changes to the Work Schedule agreed to in writing by both Landlord and Tenant and changes to the Work Schedule of which Tenant is provided reasonable notice, resulting from Tenant Delays or Force Majeure Delays and Landlord caused delays. 3. TENANT CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES. Landlord hereby appoints the following ----------------------------------- person(s) as Landlord's representative ("Landlord's Representative") to act for Landlord in all matters covered by this Work Letter: James Crain, telephone (303) 741-0700, facsimile (303) 741-6988. Tenant is entitled to rely on information and decisions of Landlord's Representative, and the signature of Landlord's Representative on documents, change orders and other instruments delivered in connection with this Work Letter, shall be conclusive evidence of Landlord's approval. Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant's representative ("Tenant's Representative") to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Work Letter: William Nevills, telephone (719) 593-5974, facsimile (719) 593- 5978. Landlord is entitled to rely on information and decisions of Tenant's Representative, and the signature of Tenant's Representative on documents, change orders, Work Cost Estimate and other instruments delivered in connection with this Work Letter, shall be conclusive evidence of Tenant's approval. All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Work Letter are to be made to Landlord's Representative or Tenant's Representative, as the case may be, in writing in compliance C-1 with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its representative under this Work Letter at any time by written notice to the other party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease. 4. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS. ------------------------ (a) Preparation of Space Plans. Tenant and Landlord have approved Gensler -------------------------- ("Space Planner") to prepare the architectural drawings for the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability to assure that the design of the Premises is satisfactory for Tenant and for Tenant's use. Tenant agrees to cause the Space Planner to prepare the preliminary space plans for the layout of Premises ("Space Plans") on or before the outside date for preparation of the Space Plans set forth in the Work Schedule. The Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord upon completion for Landlord approval. If Landlord disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor in accordance with the Work Schedule. Tenant will have until the outside date specified in the Work Schedule to cause the Space Planner to redesign the Space Plans incorporating the revisions required by Landlord and to obtain Landlord's final approval of the Space Plans. (b) Preparation of Final Plans. Based on the approved Space Plans, Tenant -------------------------- will cause its Space Planner to prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, plumbing, structural (if required) and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the "Final Plans"). The Tenant shall also cause the Space Planner to use building standard materials and details for building spaces in accordance with the "Components of Standard Tenant Finish for General Office Purposes" attached hereto as Exhibit G and shall also use at Tenant's cost --------- Landlord's engineers and consultants for preparation of such working drawing, provided such costs are commercially reasonable. The Final Plans are to be completed on or before the outside date for completion of the Final Plans set forth in the Work Schedule. The Final Plans will show: (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises, (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base Building shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that they are consistent with the Space Plans. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Space Plans, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule. In addition, if Tenant requests, Landlord will identify any Tenant Improvements which Landlord will require removed upon termination of the Lease. Tenant will have until the outside date specified in the Work Schedule to cause the Space Planner to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Landlord or to adjust the Plans based upon requested removal items as to make the Final Plans consistent with the Space Plans and to obtain Landlord's final approval of the Space Plans. (c) Requirements of Tenant's Final Plans. Tenant's Final Plans will ------------------------------------ include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and will comply with all applicable insurance regulations of which Tenant has knowledge; (iii) not require Building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and will not overload the Building floors; and (iv) be of a nature and quality consistent with the overall objectives of Landlord for the Building, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable but subjective discretion. (d) Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, as ------------------------ provided in the Work Schedule, Tenant will cause the Space Planner to coordinate for submittal of the Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit in cooperation with the Contractor; however, ultimate responsibility to obtain the permit shall be the Space Planner's. Landlord will have the right to review Space Planner's submittal package prior to delivery to such governmental agencies. Space Planner, with the approval of Landlord and Tenant, will make any changes to the Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Final Plans no further C-2 changes may be made without the prior written approval of both Landlord and Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any excess costs resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes, if any. Tenant hereby acknowledges that any such changes will be subject to the terms of Paragraph 8 below. Landlord shall have no obligation to approve any further changes to the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, but shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of appropriate change orders necessary for obtaining the permit. (e) Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of -------------------------------- construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plan, as provided in the Work Schedule, Landlord will cause the Contractor to submit to Landlord and Tenant a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans which shall not take into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Final Plans required by the City, County, Fire Department, Architectural Control Committee, and other governmental approvals in which the Premises are located together with all space planning, architectural engineering, supervision and other costs incurred in connection therewith (the "Work Cost Estimate"). Tenant will either approve the Work Cost Estimate or disapprove specific items and submit to Landlord revisions to the Final Plans to reflect deletions of and/or substitutions for such disapproved items, and delays attributable to such changes shall be Tenant Delays, if and to the extent provided pursuant to Paragraph 8 below. Submission and approval of the Work Cost Estimate will proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Upon Tenant's written approval of the Work Cost Estimate (such approved Work Cost Estimate to be hereinafter known as the "Work Cost Statement"), Landlord will cause the Contractor to purchase materials and to commence the construction of the items included in the Work Cost Statement pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof. The Work Cost Statement will include a guaranteed maximum price contract with the Contractor, subject to allowances where the scope of the work is not specifically defined, and such Work Cost Statement will not materially change without the prior consent of Tenant, unless such change is caused by a governmental requirement or such other third party requirement (other than with respect to the changes set forth in the guaranteed maximum price contract) beyond the control of Landlord, and in such event, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of such requirement and corresponding change to the Work Cost Statement. In connection with the work set forth in the Work Cost Statement, the Contractor shall cap its fee for overhead and profit and its budget for general conditions at an amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum price contract. If the total costs reflected in the Work Cost Statement exceed the Allowance as more specifically described in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant agrees to pay such excess within twenty (20) days after billing therefor by Landlord without further notice (provided that such billed amount reflects work performed), and Landlord's billing will be within thirty (30) days of the date that said funds are due by Landlord to its contractor or subcontractor. Throughout the course of construction, any differences between the estimated Work Cost in the Work Cost Statement and the actual Work Cost will be determined by Landlord and appropriate adjustments and payments by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, will be made within twenty (20) days of billing, as set forth above. Delays in completion of the Tenant Improvements shall be Tenant Delays, if caused by matters set forth in Paragraph 8 below. 5. PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. ----------------------------------- (a) Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a tenant improvement --------- allowance of $34.11 per rentable square foot of the Premises, plus at Tenant's election, if the Work Cost Statement exceeds the $34.11 per rentable square foot allowance, an additional $5.00 per rentable square foot, which amount if used by Tenant shall be added to Base Rent and amortized over the initial Lease term at the rate of ten percent per annum (such $34.11 per rentable square foot allowance and $5.00 per rentable square foot allowance, if applicable, being collectively referred to as the "Allowance"). The Allowance is to be used for all design, construction, permitting and consulting costs incurred for the construction of the Premises (expressly excluding furniture, fixtures and equipment and design related to furniture, fixtures and equipment) including, but not limited to the following: (i) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements. (ii) Construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the following: C-3 (aa) Installation within the Premises of all partitioning, doors, floor coverings, ceilings, wall coverings and painting, millwork and similar items; (bb) All electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, outlets and switches, and other electrical work necessary for the Premises, including voice data cabling costs; (cc) The furnishing and installation of all matters relating to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems within the Premises, including temperature control and the cost of meter and key control for after- hour air conditioning; (dd) Any additional improvements to the Premises required for Tenant's use of the Premises including, but not limited to, odor control, special heating, ventilation and air conditioning, noise or vibration control or other special systems or improvements; (ee) All fire and life safety control systems such as fire walls, sprinklers, halon, fire alarms, smoke detectors, fire dampers, including piping, wiring and accessories, necessary for the Premises; (ff) All plumbing, fixtures, pipes and accessories necessary for the Premises; (gg) Testing and inspection costs; and (hh) Fees for the Contractor, including, but not limited to, fees and costs attributable to general conditions associated with the construction of the Tenant Improvements. In addition to the above, Landlord will provide an additional Allowance not to exceed $2.45 per rentable square foot for Space Planner and all other consultants, which additional Allowance shall include $8,000.00 of work already performed for Tenant by Gensler. (b) Payment Process. All invoices and pay requests relating to any Tenant --------------- Improvement Work performed hereunder shall be submitted and paid in accordance with the following procedure: (i) Any invoices received by Tenant's Representative for work described in Section 5(a) hereof shall be submitted to Landlord, with the appropriate back up documentation, on or before the 25th day of the month. (ii) Landlord will process such invoices and provide an overall pay application, summarizing all such bills to be submitted for payment, to Tenant's Representative for review on or before the 10th day of the following month. (iii) Landlord will cause its lender to fund such amounts set forth on the pay application no later than thirty (30) days following the date on which it is provided to Tenant's Representative as set forth in subsection (ii) above. (c) Excess Costs. The cost of each item referenced in Paragraph 5(a) above ------------ shall be charged against the Allowance. If the Work Cost exceeds the Allowance, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord such excess within twenty (20) days after invoice therefor (provided that such billed amount reflects work performed), and Landlord's billing will be within thirty (30) days of the date that said funds are due by Landlord to its contractor or subcontractor. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any remaining balance of the Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Work Cost exceeds the Allowance and if such excess amount is greater than $1.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, then any amount over such $1.00 per square foot amount will be immediately deposited with Landlord prior to the commencement of any such work, with the balance to be paid in accordance with this subsection (c). (d) Changes. If, after the Final Plans have been prepared and the Work ------- Cost Statement has been established, Tenant requires any changes or substitutions to the Final Plans, any additional estimated costs related thereto are to be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, subject to subparagraph (c) above. Any changes to the Final Plans will be approved by Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Paragraph 4 above C-4 and will, if necessary, require the Work Cost Statement to be revised and agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Subparagraph 4(f) above. Changes to the Final Plans which delay completion of the Tenant Improvements will constitute "Tenant Delays" as provided in Paragraph 8 below. (e) Government Cost Increases. If increases in the cost of the Tenant ------------------------- Improvements as set forth in the Work Cost Statement are due to requirements of any governmental agency, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the amount of such increases within twenty (20) days of Landlord's written notice, subject to subparagraph (c) above, and Landlord's billing will be within thirty (30) days of the date that said funds are due by Landlord to its contractor or subcontractor. (f) Unused Amounts. Any unused portion of either Allowance upon -------------- completion of the Tenant Improvements will not be refunded to Tenant and will not be available to Tenant as a credit against any obligations of Tenant under the Lease; provided, however, Tenant may apply such unused portion, if any, toward cabling costs. (g) Standard Improvements. The base building improvements that Landlord --------------------- will construct and not include within the costs for which Tenant will be responsible hereunder are listed on Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated --------- herein by this reference. 6.

This does not include the subsequent costs of compliance for any full floor tenant (including the restrooms on the third floor), which costs shall be borne by such tenant. 13. EARLY ENTRY.

WITNESSETH: ----------- WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan (the "Loan") to Landlord; WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") made by Landlord to order of Lender and is secured by, among other things, a deed of trust, assignment of rents and leases, security agreement and fixture filing (the "Deed of Trust") filed with the Clerk and Recorder of the County of El Paso on April 2, 1998, made by Landlord to Lender covering the land (the "Land") described on Schedule A hereto and all improvements (the "Improvements") now or hereafter located on the land (the Land and the Improvements hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Trust Property"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to a prospective Lease by and between Landlord and Tenant (which Lease, as the same may have been amended and supplemented, is hereinafter called the "Lease"), Landlord shall Lease to Tenant approximately 35,234 total rentable square feet of space located in the Improvements (the "Premises"); and WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make the Lease when fully executed and delivered subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows: 1. The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended, and all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Premises and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant under the Lease, are and shall be unconditionally subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien thereof, to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Deed of Trust, to each and every advance made or hereafter made under the Deed of Trust, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions of the Deed of Trust, so that at all times the Deed of Trust shall be and remain a lien on the Trust Property prior and superior to the Lease for all purposes; provided, however, and Lender agrees, that so long as (A) no event has occurred and no condition exists beyond any applicable cure period, which would entitle Landlord to terminate the Lease or would cause, without further action of Landlord, the termination of the Lease or would entitle Landlord to dispossess Tenant from the Premises, (B) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and shall not have been otherwise modified or supplemented in any way without Lender's prior written consent (if and to the extent Lender's consent is required for the same under the documents evidencing or securing the Loan), (C) Tenant shall duly confirm its attornment to Lender or its successor or assign by written instrument as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, and (D) ----------- NEITHER Lender, nor its successors or assigns shall be liable under any warranty of construction contained in the Lease or any implied warranty of construction unless Tenant attorns to Lender (or its successors or assigns) and recognizes Lender as the landlord under the Lease, and (E) all representations and warranties made herein by Tenant shall be true and correct as of the date of such attornment; then, and in such event provided Tenant is not in monetary default or material nor monetary default under the Lease (in either event following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant's leasehold estate under the Lease shall not be terminated, Tenant's possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender, Lender shall not join Tenant in any foreclosure proceedings except as necessary to effectuate a foreclosure, Lender will accept the attornment of Tenant, and Lender, if it becomes the successor landlord under the Lease, shall be bound to Tenant under the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). 2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant hereby agrees that in the event of any act, omission or default by Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to terminate the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, or to reduce the rent payable thereunder or credit or offset any amounts against future rents payable thereunder, Tenant will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act, omission or default to Lender by delivering notice of such act, omission or default, in accordance with Paragraph 8 hereof, and (ii) until a period of not ----------- less than sixty (60) days for remedying such act, omission or default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any default of Landlord which cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, if Lender shall within such period proceed promptly to cure the same (including such time as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Premises if possession is necessary to effect such cure) and thereafter shall prosecute the curing of such default with diligence, then the time within which such default may be cured by Lender shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of the same with diligence. Lender's cure of Landlord's default shall not be considered an assumption by Lender of Landlord's other obligations under the Lease. Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing or as otherwise set forth herein, Landlord shall remain solely liable to perform Landlord's obligations under the Lease (but only to the extent required by and subject to the limitation included with the Lease), both before and after Lender's exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement. If Lender or any successor or assign becomes obligated to perform as Landlord under the Lease, such person or entity will be released from those obligations accruing after the date on which such person or entity assigns, sells or otherwise transfers its interest in the Premises or the Trust Property. 3. Without limitation of any of the provisions of the Lease, in the event that Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord, then subject to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, Paragraph 1 above, the Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and - ----------- effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to and accept Lender and to recognize Lender as its Landlord under the Lease for the then remaining balance -2- of the term thereof, and upon request of Lender, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Lender an agreement of attornment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 4. If Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord, in no event shall Lender have any liability for any act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease which occurs prior to the date Lender succeeds to the rights of Landlord under the Lease, nor any liability for claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have had against Landlord, except in either case, with respect to any and all obligations that are of a continuing nature (but only to the extent of any liability arising solely from the continuance of said obligations and that continue beyond the date of transfer unless otherwise set forth herein). In no event shall Lender have any personal liability as successor to Landlord and Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of Lender in the Land and the Improvements for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Lender as Landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of Lender shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under or with respect to the Lease. 5. Tenant agrees that no prepayment of rent or additional rent due under the Lease of more than one month in advance, and no amendment, modification, surrender or cancellation of the Lease, shall be binding upon or as against Lender, as holder of the Deed of Trust, or as Landlord under the Lease if it succeeds to that position, unless consented to in writing by Lender (if and to the extent Lender's consent is required for the same under the documents evidencing or securing the Loan). In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Tenant agrees that Lender, so long as it is only holder of the Deed of Trust, shall in no event have any liability for the performance or completion of any initial work or installations or for any loan or contribution or rent concession towards initial work, which are required to be made by Landlord (A) under the Lease or under any related Lease documents or (B) for any space which may hereafter become part of said Premises. Tenant further agrees with Lender that Tenant will not voluntarily subordinate the Lease to any lien or encumbrance without Lender's prior written consent. 6. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute and be construed as one and the same instrument. 7. All remedies which Lender may have against Landlord provided herein, if any, are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law and by other agreements between Lender and Landlord or others. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, each of same shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of such party hereunder. 8. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or, if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or Lender appearing below, or, if sent by telegram, when delivered by or refused upon attempted delivery by the telegraph office. Such addresses may be changed by -3- notice given in the same manner. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, then notice to any one of same shall be deemed notice to such party.

Tenant agrees to pay all rents and other amounts due under the Lease directly to Lender upon receipt of written demand by Lender, and Landlord hereby consents thereto. Any amounts paid by Tenant to Lender in accordance herewith shall be credited against any sums due Landlord under the Lease. The assignment of the Lease to Lender, or the collection of rents by Lender pursuant to such assignment, shall not obligate Lender to perform Landlord's obligations under the Lease. 12. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is entered into with an affiliated lender and does not necessarily represent the form of agreement that would be executed with an unaffiliated third party lender. -4- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
